Bard Of My Heart

The summer was sweet

And the flowers were blooming

The wind was as gentle

And sweet as a kiss

The great Northern Lights

Danced above us till morning

The stars were like diamonds --

We each made our wish.

The mountains were green

And they climbed to the heavens

The rivers ran sparkling down to the sea

Your laugh like a bell

Filled my heart with such gladness

Our songs they were happy

Our voices were free

We built a green bower

Of willows and roses

Sang of our pleasures

And sang of our woes

How could we have known

This would be your last summer

How precious the bower

How precious the rose

The world without you

Has gone dark as the winter

The sounds of the river

Are frozen and still.

The lark has grown silent

The stars have no luster

But I'll live through this darkness

I know that I will.

I know I will find you

Among the bright flowers

We'll walk in the rain

And we'll dance in the wind

We'll build a green bower

And fish all the rivers

We'll watch the stars fall

And we'll smile once again.

I still love you more

Than the earth and its beauties

You are all my seasons,

We never shall part.

For though I have lost you

You live on forever

Oh joy of my future

Oh child of my heart.
